Around device interaction for controlling an electronic device, for controlling a computer game and for user verification

摘要

An electronic device (2) has an around device interaction means for interacting with a user of the electronic device (2). Therein the around device interaction means comprises a magnetic sensor for measuring a magnetic field strength and controlling means with which the electronic device (2) is controllable according to a movement of a magnetic element (3; 30) while the magnetic field strength of the magnetic element (3; 30) is measured by the magnetic sensor. According to the invention, the human-computer-interaction is based on the magnetic sensor or compass sensor, respectively, which is integrated in more and more standard electronic devices and in particular in mobile electronic devices. Thus, 3D human-computer-interaction can be implemented in a comparably simple and efficient manner.
